Welcome! If this is your first stop in deciding whether therapy is right for you, congratulations. I know it can be incredibly difficult to take the first step towards finding a therapist who is the right fit for you. As a therapist, my primary goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I view therapy as a cooperative space between us. You are the expert of your life, and my job is to ask the right questions to bring clarity, direction, and self-compassion. Sometimes, this looks like sitting in silence together. Other times, it looks like a gentle nudge to push you towards the potential we both know you have.

I earned my Master's in Counseling and PsyD at Fuller Theological Seminary. I have had the privilege of working in hospitals, universities, private practice, and community mental health settings, and these experiences have given me a broad perspective on the unique difficulties facing individuals. My clinical training includes a specialty in spirituality and religious experiences (i.e., religious trauma and deconstruction). I work with individuals 18+ and help individuals who are navigating life transitions and/or relationship difficulties.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Acworth

Searching for therapists in Acworth starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training, specialties, and therapy styles that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy, and can help you decide who may be a strong fit.

Acworth is a smaller market, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Dallas, Kennesaw, or Marietta. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a Georgia-licensed therapist. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what to expect in session.

Therapy in Acworth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, review estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
